Nugent was using the terms generally, as if they generally went together, when they clearly do not. One does not require a universe completely devoid of Nazi Jews, or Communist Czars, to see Nugent&#39;s comments for the ignorant nonsense they are. He&#39;s just stringing negative words together in an attempt to rhetorically tar the opposition, and whether they make sense or not doesn&#39;t really matter to him or his ignorant audience.ScienceAvengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855046387193200080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498725671447004370.post-42821424783674347272010-08-13T23:02:18.750-05:002010-08-13T23:02:18.750-05:00George, they are irrelevant bullshit arguments bec...George, they are irrelevant bullshit arguments because the wingnuts have never produced a single, straight-foward, coherent argument for why any are relevant.

Obama is doing what multiple presidents before him did, and using the same stupid term &quot;Czar&quot;. Nugent&#39;s comment was just a mishmash of wingtard talking points he was clearly using without knowledge of what they actually mean. It had nothing to do with the quality of those people, because Nugent clearly doesn&#39;t know what that is.ScienceAvengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00855046387193200080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498725671447004370.post-62904790007774441392010-08-09T21:59:24.409-05:002010-08-09T21:59:24.409-05:00Words mean what we agree that they mean in the con...Words mean what we agree that they mean in the context they are used. This context is one that President Obama set up himself by calling these assistants - Czars. So, you comments about how ignorant Ted Nugent is for using the term Czar actually points right back to President Obama - if it is relevant at all. Which in fact it is not. You ignore the character, and direction of the appointments which are made outside of congressional oversight. Ted&#39;s comment was about the character and direction of these appointments - and their lack of oversight. Care to comment on the quality of people that President Obama is surrounding himself with? Can you show that they are mainstream Americans with values and policies that mesh with the majority of us?Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498725671447004370.post-5236651243789571512010-08-08T15:54:39.517-05:002010-08-08T15:54:39.517-05:00&quot;the moment you say &quot;Bill Ayers&quot;, &...&quot;the moment you say &quot;Bill Ayers&quot;, &quot;Saul Alinsky&quot;, or &quot;ACORN&quot;, thinking people stop listening.

There&#39;s a book (whose accuracy I&#39;m not vouching for) called &quot;Hitler&#39;s Jewish Soldiers.&quot;<br /><br />There&#39;s even a neo-nazi group inside Israel, called Israeli White unity.<br /><br />Small groups indeed, but they exist. Similarly, there ought to be no necessary contradiction calling some folks &quot;Communist Czars.&quot;GeorgeGnoreply@blogger.com
